Capsule Summary
This is a new two-day workshop is being offered by SBIC.
Architects, engineers, building owners and managers in both the
public and private sector have come to realize that an
integrated design approach is critical to achieving truly
high-performance buildings. This approach is premised on a 'whole
building' understanding and requires an analysis of the
interdependencies of systems. For example, consideration of site
access, building orientation, and storm water runoff are
codependent; so too are HVAC, fire protection, security and
acoustics. It is no longer acceptable for a building system to be
designed as if it had no effect on other systems and other
design decisions.
Key Topics
Covered
Topics include daylighting, natural
ventilation, and passive solar heating, energy-efficient
lighting/systems, building integrated photovoltaics, HVAC
control strategies, distributed energy generation, acoustics and
security. The curriculum is designed to help participants gain a
more thorough understanding of water conservation, indoor
environmental quality, site planning and building design issues.
Instructors will demonstrate some of the latest energy-efficient
design software, such as
Energy-10 (Version 1.8), review the
Internet-based Whole Building Design Guide, and discuss
the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating System®, as well
as the Energy Star® label for buildings and equipment.
Who Should Attend
Engineers, architects, building
owners and managers, federal, state and local government
officials, and college and university facility managers all will
find valuable information in this workshop, whether they are
planning, designing, administering, operating and/or maintaining
their facilities.
